"In all my years of being a therapist, I've never encountered a more valuable read when it comes to addressing the myth that mental illness is due to a lack of faith in God. Tabitha Yates is brave enough to confront the limitations of the church in managing mental health issues. Her words of wisdom, unfortunately gleaned from her own traumatic experiences, have helped many of my clients who've suffered at the hands of (mostly) well-meaning church leaders. These clients found validation and freedom after learning that they were not alone in their struggle. Anxiety and depression are NOT due to a lack of faith or a sinful life, as many in the church have suggested. She says it all when she says, "It's okay to need Jesus AND a therapist." Guilt and shame are common among those with mental illness, and Tabitha hits the nail right on the head when she explains that these feelings do not come from God. She holds nothing back as she uses her own troubling past and her journey to healing as a guide to overcoming damaging messages that are handed down under the guise of religion. She ventures where few have dared to reassure her readers that God does indeed care about them and their emotional problems.”

"Tabitha’s words are such a light to those who are hurting. She shares authentically and vulnerably from her own trials and experiences and gives hope to those who are walking through their own set of hard times. Her writing is powerful yet real and relatable, reminding us all that even in pain and suffering, there is still hope.” -Allison Brost, Christian Singer/Songwriter and Blogger at This Side of Perfect
"Tabitha speaks on a topic few are willing to tackle, even less so in the church. As a lifelong believer myself and someone who battles mental health struggles, this subject needs to be spoken about in the open, in the light of day, to anyone willing to set their preconceived notions aside and listen. Tabitha's authentic voice, brave heart, and strong words of advocacy is needed in this world, and in the church." - Melissa Neeb, Blogger at Faith in the Mess
“Between her unabashed willingness to delineate the unseen depths of trauma, mental health, and faith, and her writing that is all at once visceral, relatable, and witty; Tabitha is not only an absolute pleasure to work with, but a true rarity. Her words, that pang and fulfill, are the unspoken truths of millions.” -Sophia San Filippo, Managing Editor of Love What Matters
